1. INTRODUCTION
This condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" for the six months period ended 30 June 2021 for Joint Stock Commercial Bank "Uzbek Industrial and Construction Bank "(the "Bank") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").
The Bank was incorporated in 1991 and is domiciled in the Republic of Uzbekistan. It is registered in Uzbekistan to carry out banking and foreign exchange activities and has operated under the banking license #17 issued by the Central Bank of Uzbekistan ("CBU") on 21 October 2017 (succeeded the licenses #17 issued on 25 January 2003 and #25 issued on 29 January 2005 by the CBU for banking operations and general license for foreign currency operations, respectively).

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT OF THE GROUP
Republic of Uzbekistan. The Uzbekistan economy displays characteristics of an emerging market, including but not limited to, a currency that is not freely convertible outside of the country and a low level of liquidity in debt and equity markets. Also, the banking sector in Uzbekistan is particularly impacted by local political, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments. The largest Uzbek banks are state-controlled and act as an arm of the Government to develop the country's economy. The Government distributes funds from the country's budget, which flow through the banks to various government agencies, and other state- and privately-owned entities.
Uzbekistan experienced the following key economic indicators in 2021:
-- Inflation: 11.1% (2020: 11.1%) -- GDP growth 4.8% (2020: 1.6%).
-- Official exchange rates: 30 June 2021: USD 1 = UZS 10,605.30 (31 December 2020: USD 1 = UZS 10,476.92).
-- Central Bank refinancing rate: 14% (2020: 14%).
In June 2021 Standard & Poor's international rating agency affirmed the Republic of Uzbekistan's long-term foreign and short-term sovereign credit rating for foreign and local currency liabilities at the BB- level. The outlook was updated to Stable. The agency forecasts Uzbekistan's economy to grow by 4.8% in 2021, with the service sector becoming the main driver of the growth.
On 12 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. In response to the pandemic, in 2020 (in 2021, some restrictions were held, where remained), the Uzbekistan authorities implemented numerous measures attempting to contain the spreading and impact of COVID-19, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and limitations on business activity, including closures. These measures have, among other things, severely restricted economic activity in Uzbekistan and have negatively impacted, and could continue to negatively impact businesses, market participants, clients of the Group, as well as the Uzbekistan and global economy for an unknown period of time. From the beginning of 2021 Uzbekistan actively supported health care systems related to vaccination and as a result at 20 September 2021 28% of the whole population got vaccinated.
The regulator pursues the inflation targeting policy aimed to reaching 5% by the end of 2023 and averaging around that level for an extended period. This is achieved in large part by imposing tighter requirements on liquidity, which should narrow down monetary base and loan portfolios of banks.
So far, the growth of loan portfolio stock was in line with the expectations of the Central Bank. Currently, it slowed to 8.5% from 15.8% in 2020 on a year-to-date basis. This is despite the fact that loans issued in the first half of this year grew 140% from the same period a year earlier, which is explained by the significantly elevated level of returning loans.
In the first half 2021 inflation rate declined year-on-year to 10.9% against 14.2% over the same period last year.
The rate of depreciation of national currency against US dollar also decreased from 7% to 1.2% in the first half of 2020 and 2021. This is coupled with de-dollarization policy of the government which aims to decrease the foreign currency part of the banks' loan portfolio below 50% by the end of the year.
In 2021 business environment has gradually recovering after pandemic crisis and began actively developing its activities as it was before pandemic.
The future effects of the current economic situation and the above measures are difficult to predict, and management's current expectations and estimates could differ from actual results.
Management is taking necessary measures to ensure sustainability of the Group's operations and support its employees.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated interim financial information of the Group has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Except as described below, the same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in the preparation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information as compared with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Interim period tax measurement. Interim period income tax expense is accrued using the effective tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings, that is, the estimated weighted average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information is presented in millions of Uzbek Soums ("UZS"), except for earnings per share amounts and unless otherwise indicated.
4. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS
Certain new standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 or later, and which the Group has not early adopted.
-- IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (issued on 18 May 2017 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).
-- Amendments to IFRS 17 and an amendment to IFRS 4 (issued on 25 June 2020 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).
-- Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture - Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (issued on 11 September 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined by the IASB).
-- Classification of liabilities as current or non-current - Amendments to IAS 1 (issued on 23 January 2020 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022).
-- Classification of liabilities as current or non-current, deferral of effective date - Amendments to IAS 1 (issued on 15 July 2020 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).
-- Proceeds before intended use, Onerous contracts - cost of fulfilling a contract, Reference to the Conceptual Framework - narrow scope amendments to IAS 16, IAS 37 and IFRS 3, and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018- 2020 - amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41 (issued on 14 May 2020 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022).
-- Interest rate benchmark (IBOR) reform - phase 2 amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (issued on 27 August 2020 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021).
The requirements of the amended standards have not been taken into account in the preparation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information. The Group is currently assessing the effect of this amendment on its financial position and results of operations.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In preparing this condensed consolidated interim financial information, the significant judgments made by the management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were consistent with those that applied to the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 prepared in accordance with IFRS. There have been no changes to the basis upon which the significant accounting estimates have been determined compared with 31 December 2020, except for additional modification that the Group applied for measuring ECL as of 31 December 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic:
-- During 2020 the Group offered forbearance solutions to customers in the form of reductions to contractual payments including freezes to interest payments for up to six months. The forbearance was provided to all customers notwithstanding their financial difficulties before the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures have not been treated as a trigger for credit impairment or SICR for the restructured loans that had no overdue prior and during the pandemic period and subsequently had no overdue in scheduled payments, since measures were based on legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in light of the COVID-19 crisis.
-- During 2020 the Group has also adjusted the calculation of loss given default rates (LGD) by excluding the loan recovery results of the second and third quarters of 2020, assuming the recovery pattern during the lockdown period does not accurately reflect the financial performance of the borrowers. Cash flows and turnover of customer accounts observed during pre and post quarantine periods suggest that significant slow- down in the recovery of loans were mainly attributable to factors other than the financial standing of the borrowers. This adjustment to LGD has been applied across all portfolios of the Group.
Due to improvement of economic situation, absence of COVID-19 related moratoria on loan repayments in the first half of 2021 and observed curing of borrowers from COVID-19 pandemic the above adjustments and overlays to the risk parameters were not applied to the ECL as of 30 June 2021.
The Group incorporates forward-looking information into a measurement of ECL when there is a statistically proven correlation between the macro-economic variables and defaults. As at the reporting date the Group has obtained quarterly values for macroeconomic variables: export, import, GDP, CPI, current account balances, unemployment rates, aligned them with quarterly default rates across all loan portfolios and performed statistical tests for correlation considering different time lags. The Management analysed forward-looking information and assessed that effect of macro is not significant. The Management updates its statistical tests for correlation as at each reporting date.
If probability of default (PD) increased by 10% for the whole loan portfolio then ECL would have increased by 4% and amounted UZS 1,664,986 million as of 30 June 2021. If LGD increased by 10% for the whole loan portfolio then ECL would have increased by 7% and amounted UZS 1,719,132 million.
6. SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are components of the Group that engage in business activities that may earn revenues or incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers (CODM) and for which discrete financial information is available.

9. LOANS AND ADVANCES TO CUSTOMERS
The Bank uses the following classification of loans:
-- Loans to state and municipal organisations - loans issued to clients wholly owned by the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan and budget organisations;
-- Corporate loans - loans issued to clients other than government entities and private entrepreneurs;
-- Loans to individuals - loans issued to individuals for consumption purposes, for the purchase of residential houses and flats and loans issued to private entrepreneurs without forming legal entity.
Loans and advances to customers comprise: 30 June 2021 31 December (unaudited) 2020 Corporate loans 23,496,965 21,938,171 State and municipal organisations 13,873,581 14,562,532 Loans to individuals 4,184,377 4,361,970 Total loans and advances to customers, gross 41,554,923 40,862,673 Less: Allowance for expected credit losses (1,600,894) (1,902,715) Total loans and advances to customers 39,954,029 38,959,958
The loan allowance reduction is explained by the improvement in the quality of the loan portfolio due to decreased COVID 19 effects on the Group borrowers. During 2020, the Group provided forbearances to customers via restructuring of interest payments by accruing of interest to the loan outstanding principal with final maturities predominantly extended by six months. Such restructuring increased the number of loans being classified in Stage 3 as a result significantly increasing the allowance for expected credit losses. During 2021 no additional major restructuring was made by the Group and prior year restructured amounts were mostly repaid influencing the loan and advances to customers balance staging.
The other major reason of allowance for expected credit losses reduction is improvement of individually significant loans performance on which the ECL is calculated on an individual basis and constituted in current year UZS 351,092 million and UZS 758,997 million as at 31 December 2020
The table below represents loans and advances to customer's classification by stages as at 30 June 2021 (unaudited) and 31 December 2020:

Significant change in interest income on investment securities measured at amortised cost is associated with the significant investments made by the Group in bonds of CBU and Ministry of Finance during 6 months of 2021.
Significant change in interest income on other borrowed funds is associated with the attraction of additional funds from local and international financial institutions.
Significant change in interest income on balances due to other banks is associated with repayments made by the Group to local banks towards borrowings received.

Significant change in staff costs is associated with the overall increase of salary rates as well as due to increase in bonuses and other stimulation payments.
18. INCOME TAXES Six months ended Six months ended 30 June 2021 30 June 2020 (unaudited) (unaudited) Current income tax expense 148,834 98,993 Deferred tax (benefit)/expense: - Deferred tax (benefit)/expense 63,311 (67,089) - Deferred tax expense relating to the components of other comprehensive income 799 1,884 - Deferred tax benefit relating to discontinued operation - (165) Total income tax expense through profit or loss and other comprehensive income 212,944 33,623
Interim period income tax expense is recognised based on management's best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated average annual tax rate applied for the six months ended 30 June 2021(unaudited) is 20.0 % (the estimated tax rate for the six months ended 30 June 2021 (unaudited) was 20%)).
Significant change in the balance of deferred tax asset is associated with the recovery of credit losses on loans and advances to customers
19. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.
The Group has no dilutive potential ordinary shares; therefore, the diluted earnings per share equal basic earnings per share.
According to the charter of the Group, dividend payments per ordinary share cannot exceed the dividends per share on preferred shares for the same period and the minimum dividends payable to the owners of preference shares comprise not less than 20%. Therefore, net profit for the period is allocated to the ordinary shares and the preferred shares in accordance with their legal and contractual dividend rights to participate in undistributed earnings.
Six months ended Six months ended 30 June 2021 30 June 2020 (unaudited (unaudited) Profit for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders 806,928 134,716 Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic and diluted earnings per share (in million of shares) 243,922 243,922 Total basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share (expressed in UZS per share) 3.31 0.55 20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating lease commitments. As at 30 June 2021 (unaudited) and 31 December 2020, the Group had no material operating lease commitments outstanding
Legal proceedings . From time to time and in the normal course of business, claims against the Group are received. On the basis of its own estimates and both internal and external professional advice the Management is of the opinion that no material losses will be incurred in respect of claims and accordingly no provision has been made in these consolidated financial statements.
Tax legislation . Uzbek tax, currency and customs legislation is subject to varying interpretations, and changes, which can occur frequently. The Management's interpretation of such legislation as applied to the transactions and activity of the Group may be challenged by the relevant regional and state authorities. Recent events within Uzbekistan suggest that the tax authorities may be taking a more assertive position in their interpretation of the legislation and assessments, and it is possible that transactions and activities that have not been challenged in the past, may be challenged. As a result, significant additional taxes, penalties and interest may be assessed. Fiscal periods remain open to review by the authorities in respect of taxes for five calendar years preceding the year of review. Under certain circumstances reviews may cover longer periods.
The Management believes that its interpretation of the relevant legislation is appropriate and the Bank's tax, currency legislation and customs positions will be sustained. Accordingly, as at 30 June 2021 (unaudited), no provision for potential tax liabilities had been recorded (2020: Nil). The Group estimates that it has no potential obligations from exposure to other than remote tax risks.
Capital expenditure commitments. As at 30 June 2021 (unaudited) and 31 December 2020, the Group had contractual capital expenditure commitments for the total amount of UZS 816,264 million and UZS 1,033,849 million in respect of premises and equipment, respectively.
Credit related commitments . The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Guarantees and standby letters of credit, which represent irrevocable assurances that the Group will make payments in the event that a customer cannot meet its obligations to third parties, carry the same credit risk as loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit, which are written undertakings by the Group on behalf of a customer authorising a third party to draw drafts on the Group up to a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions, are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate or cash deposits and therefore carry less risk than a direct borrowing. Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorisations to extend credit in the form of loans, guarantees or letters of credit. With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Group is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments. However, the likely amount of loss is less than the total unused commitments since most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The Group monitors the term to maturity of credit related commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-term commitments.
20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) The credit related commitments are comprised of the following: 30 June 2021 31 December (unaudited) 2020 Guarantees issued 2,430,619 2,424,042 Letters of credits, post-financing with commencement after reporting period end 852,329 457,743 Letters of credit, non post-financing 518,015 336,446 Undrawn credit lines 461,177 518,506 Total gross credit related commitments 4,262,140 3,736,737 Less - Cash held as security against letters of credit and guarantees (224,444) (155,267) Less - Provision for expected credit losses (59,630) (22,845) Total credit related commitments 3,978,066 3,558,625
The total outstanding contractual amount of letters of credit, guarantees issued and undrawn credit lines does not necessarily represent future cash requirements as these financial instruments may expire or terminate without being funded.
21. CHANGES IN LIABILITIES ARISING FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
The table below sets out movement in the Group's liabilities from financing activities for each of periods presented. The items of these liabilities are those that are reported as financing activities in the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows.

FAIR VALUE
IFRS defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date. Fair value measurements are analysed by level in the fair value hierarchy as follows: (i) level one are measurements at quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (ii) level two measurements are valuations techniques with all material inputs observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices), and (iii) level three measurements are valuations not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
The Management applies judgement in categorising financial instruments using the fair value hierarchy. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. The significance of a valuation input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Some of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting year. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used). Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
22. FAIR VALUE (Continued)
The Group considers that the accounting estimate related to the valuation of financial instruments where quoted markets prices are not available is a key source of estimation uncertainty because: (i) it is highly susceptible to changes from year to year, as it requires the Management to make assumptions about interest rates, volatility, exchange rates, the credit rating of the counterparty, valuation adjustments and specific features of transactions and (ii) the impact that recognising a change in the valuations would have on the assets reported on the consolidated statement of financial position, as well as, the related profit or loss reported on the consolidated statement of profit or loss, could be material .
Some of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting year. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used).

Discount discount-the Level rate estimated Discount smaller fair - Other 27,255 24,821 3 based on WACC. rate value
The fair value of the equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income were determined as the present value of future dividends by assuming dividend growth rate of zero per annum. The Management built its expectation based on previous experience of dividends received on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income over multiple years, and accordingly calculated the value of using the average rate of return on investments. A significant unobservable input used in determining the fair value of equity securities at FVTOCI is the Group's WACC. The higher the WACC the lower the fair value of the equity securities at FVTOCI. The Management believes that this approach accurately reflects the fair value of these securities, given they are not traded. Such financial instruments were categorised as
Level 3.
Investments to which the dividends valuation approach is not applicable, i.e. dividends were not paid during the period, Management may use the Assets based valuation approach focused on the investment company's net assets value (NAV), or fair market value of its total assets minus its total liabilities, to determine what would cost to recreate the business. The Management believes that such approach accurately reflects the fair value of these securities.
22. FAIR VALUE (Continued)
Below is presented the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (but fair value disclosures are required). Except as detailed in the following table, the Management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to comply with the capital requirements set by the CBU, and to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Compliance with capital adequacy ratios set by the CBU is monitored monthly with reports outlining their calculation reviewed and signed by the Chairman and Chief Accountant.
Under the current capital requirements set by the CBU, banks have to maintain ratios of (actual ratios given below are unaudited):
-- Ratio of regulatory capital to risk weighted assets ("Regulatory capital ratio") above a prescribed minimum level of 13% (31 December 2020: 13%). Actual ratio as at 30 June 2021: 17% (31 December 2020: 17%);
-- Ratio of Group's tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ("Capital adequacy ratio") above a prescribed minimum level of 10% (31 December 2020: 10%). Actual ratio as at 30 June 2021: 13.8% (31 December 2020: 13%); and
-- Ratio of Group's tier 1 capital to total assets less intangibles ("Leverage ratio") above a prescribed minimum level of 6% (31 December 2020: 6%). Actual ratio as at 30 June 2021: 11.4% (31 December 2020: 10.3%).
Total capital is based on the Group's reports prepared under Uzbekistan Accounting Legislation and related instructions and comprises:
31 December 30 June 2021 2020 (unaudited) (unaudited) Tier 1 capital 6,342,662 5,543,925 Less: Deduction from capital (74,725) (46,485) Tier 1 capital adjusted 6,267,937 5,497,440 Tier 2 capital 1,470,733 1,619,786 Total Regulatory Capital 7,738,670 7,117,226
Regulatory capital consists of Tier 1 capital, which comprises share capital, share premium, preference shares, retained earnings excluding current year profit and less intangible assets. The other component of regulatory capital is Tier 2 capital, which includes current year profit.
24. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The Group manages the following risk: credit risk, off-balance sheet risk, market risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, compliance risk and other type of risks.
Risk management system is the part of the overall management system of the Group which aims to provide sustainable development of the Bank and the Group members in line with the approved Development Strategy.
The Group's risk management policies and procedures are consistent with those disclosed in the annual consolidate financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Currency risk . The Group takes on exposure to the effect of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. In respect of currency risk, the Council sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and in total for both overnight and intra-day positions, which are monitored daily. The Group's Treasury Department measures its currency risk by matching financial assets and liabilities denominated in same currency and analyses effect of actual annual appreciation/depreciation of that currency against Uzbekistan Soum to the profit and loss of the Group. The table below summarises the Group's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk at the end of reporting period:

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (Continued)
Liquidity risk . Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Group is exposed to daily calls on its available cash resources from overnight deposits, current accounts, maturing deposits, loan draw downs, guarantees and from margin and other calls on cash settled derivative instruments. The Group does not maintain cash resources to meet all of these needs as experience shows that a minimum level of reinvestment of maturing funds can be predicted with a high level of certainty. Liquidity risk is managed by the Resources Management Committee of the Group.
The Group seeks to maintain a stable funding base comprising primarily amounts due to other banks, corporate and retail customer deposits and invest the funds in inter-bank placements of liquid assets, in order to be able to respond quickly and smoothly to unforeseen liquidity requirements.
The liquidity management of the Group requires considering the level of liquid assets necessary to settle obligations as they fall due; maintaining access to a range of funding sources; maintaining funding contingency plans and monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against regulatory requirements. The Group calculates liquidity ratios on a monthly basis in accordance with the requirement of the Central Bank of Uzbekistan. These ratios are calculated using figures based on National Accounting Standards.
The Treasury Department receives information about the liquidity profile of the financial assets and liabilities. The Treasury Department then provides for an adequate portfolio of short-term liquid assets, largely made up of short-term liquid trading securities, deposits with banks and other inter-bank facilities, to ensure that sufficient liquidity is maintained within the Group as a whole.
The daily liquidity position is monitored and regular liquidity stress testing under a variety of scenarios covering both normal and more severe market conditions is performed by the Treasury Department.

The undiscounted maturity analysis of financial instruments at 31 December 2020 is as follows:

Liquidity requirements to support calls under guarantees and standby letters of credit are considerably less than the amount of the commitment disclosed in the above maturity analysis, because the Group does not generally expect the third party to draw funds under the agreement.
The total outstanding contractual amount of commitments to extend credit as included in the above maturity table does not necessarily represent future cash requirements, since many of these commitments will expire or terminate without being funded.
The table below shows the maturity analysis of non-derivative financial assets at their carrying amounts and based on their contractual maturities, except for assets that are readily saleable if it should be necessary to meet cash outflows on financial liabilities. Such financial assets are included in the maturity analysis based on their expected date of disposal. Impaired loans are included at their carrying amounts net of impairment provisions, and based on the expected timing of cash inflows.

The above analysis is based on remaining contractual maturities.
Although the Group does not have the right to use the mandatory deposits held in Central bank of Uzbekistan for the purposes of funding its operating activities, the Management classifies them as demand deposits in the liquidity gap analysis on the basis that their nature is inherently to fund sudden withdrawal of customer accounts.
The matching and/or controlled mismatching of the maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilities is fundamental to the Management of the Group. It is unusual for banks ever to be completely matched since business transacted is often of an uncertain term and of different types. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The maturities of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace, at an acceptable cost, interest-bearing liabilities as they mature, are important factors in assessing the liquidity of the Group and its exposure to changes in interest and exchange rates.
The Management believes that in spite of a substantial portion of customer accounts being on demand, the fact that significant portion of these customer accounts are of large state-controlled entities which are either the Group's shareholders or its entities under common control and the past experience of the Group, indicate that these customer accounts provide a long-term and stable source of funding for the Group.
25. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

To finance this project, in June 2021, Group signed a loan agreement with a consortium of foreign banks including Credit Suisse, Citibank, Eximbank of China and Raiffeisenbank for a total amount of 122.3 million US dollars. The deal was facilitated by Credit Suisse, which acted as a structuring bank, arranger and agent, Citibank, China Eximbank and Raiffeisenbank were involved as arrangers, and an insurance guarantee was provided by China Export Credit Insurance Corporation Sinosure.
On 14 September of this year, the signing ceremony of the Agreement on the allocation of a loan to Group in the amount of 75 million US dollars by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) took place. An IFC loan aimed at climate finance and increased lending to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Uzbekistan

IFC financing, denominated in Uzbek soums, will provide the bank with access to long-term financing in local currency, limited in the market due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and will help transform the bank with the possibility of further converting the IFC loan into bank shares.
On September 14 this year, an additional agreement was signed with the investment company "Frontera Capital" (Great Britain) to raise funds in national currency to finance projects of small and medium-sized businesses in the amount of equivalent to USD 10 million.
